Three great outdoor workouts

Fitness expert Matt Roberts has something for everyone with his workouts that don’t require a gym membership

As the evenings become lighter, with the clocks going forward, exercising outdoors becomes far more appealing than a visit to the gym. A good outdoor workout provides physical and mental stimulation. I’m not suggesting that you start hugging the trees, but a little time spent getting muddy and using your environment is good for the soul. The trend in the US, and increasingly in the UK, over the past couple of years has been towards mountain walking, hiking and biking, reflecting our desire to free ourselves from our “housed-in” lives. I’m very much in favour of this shift.
